Description

For anyone visiting Caol Ila today, it might be hard to believe that it was once one of the smaller distilleries on Islay, with the Diageo workhorse now producing almost as much spirit as Lagavulin, Ardbeg, Bowmore and Laphroaig combined!

Nose
Initially restrained, with notes of bonfire smoke, sweet rice paper, and caramel. Develops apricots, mango lassie, earth, dry roasted peanuts, butter, Portuguese salt cod, toast, and lemon balm.
Palate
Toasted hazelnuts, cod, whipped cream, and icing sugar. The alcohol is a little more noticeable on the palate, but the bite is still good for its ABV.
Finish
Good length with ginger spice, cloves, and tar lingering. There's also a slight bitterness from orange peel and pomegranate.
